Default Hood weights - A definitive answer

Hi all,

I have looked high and low, and come up with nothing but contrasting information.

I am looking for the lightest OEM 4th gen hood I can find. Some people say the SS is lighter, others heavier. Some years different than others. IE LT1 hoods lighter than LS1 hoods.

I don't care if it's an SS or Z-28, LS1, LT1, whatever. It has to be OEM. I repeat, I cannot use an aftermarket hood. I can modify however it to make it lighter.

What is my best option? Thanks for any and all input you can offer.

I'd just take the SS hood and cut all the stuff under it out. Then it's just a thin piece of fiberglass. Idk how strong it would be.
